    Chopping a chromed barrel

    Hi guys, thinking of taking at least 6" off my Baikal 223, it has a chromed barrel, any 'extra care' involved like chipping?....or should i just grow a pair and put it in the lathe......

    Buddy - got some really nice moderate 223 loads with 55gr blitzkings for you to try...

    Can't wait to try on a few Goats but they sure smash the hell out of some liquid filled 1.5L and old oil containers aka test #1.

    Might have to drop a few off to you to try ?

    Do you have a welder? You could add it back on when you plan on shooting long range
